My own personal choices for spinoff films would be, in descending order:

1. A Fugitive Jedi "chase" film where a survivor of the Great Purge flees Darth Vader and Imperial troopers.

2. Yoda as a relatively young and brand new Jedi Master, set 800 years before the Prequel Trilogy when he takes on his very first Padawan apprentice and has to embark on a mission of urgency to defend the Republic from some sort of danger.

3. One of Boba Fett's early exploits as a professional bounty hunter during the formative years of the Galactic Empire.

4. Han Solo, set some seven to ten years prior to his meeting Luke, Obi-Wan and Leia and joining the Rebel Alliance.

I still think something like this would be perfect for the basis of the oft-rumored live action TV series. A Jedi goes on the run and has wacky adventures across the Galaxy Far, Far Away while evading capture.

I've been wondering if that series (was it called, "Star Wars: Underworld?") has been completely canceled, making way for the Fett film?

I'm wondering if they might pull a Marvel and use at least one of the spin-off movies to introduce characters who will play a role in the new trilogy.

While we're wondering, will Disney also be killing that godawful Detours series?

I hope JD is right.

Regardless of the level of enthusiasm I've encountered for that series, you couldn't pay me to watch it. I feel sci-fi "hilarious sendups" and "fresh parody" are a dime a dozen and not at that funny. It began and ended at Spaceballs for me.

We can only hope.

A Yoda movie sounds awful. So do most of the ideas I've heard surrounding these spin-offs.

Only truly solid idea for a film I've heard so far:

"Seven Samurai" with Jedi. Set a few years after RotS, Survivors of the purge (and friends) are gathered up by a grizzled, old, one-armed Mace Windu (going under an assumed name) who has been hunted down by a force-sensitive kid in the hopes of fending off the Imperial invasion of an outer-rim planet where the first inklings of a serious Rebellion has begun to form in earnest. An Alamo-esque finale (and death of these last few Jedi) kick-starts these beginnings of the Rebel Alliance.
